introduction

MarkText is a real-time discount preview editor with various discount extensions. You can simply write and edit text, MarkText will hide all unnecessary syntax elements. When you first start MarkText, an empty editor window will appear. You can view the key bindings or command palettes for all available commands (CMDOrCtrl+Shift), or simply type to get an overlay containing available text elements.

Switch sidebar

The sidebar consists of three panels, and you can switch between them by pressing CMDOrCtrl+:

• File System Resource Manager (Tree View) for the opened root directory
• Search for files
• Directory of the selected tab

Switch tags

MarkText can be used as a single editor, but opens all files in a separate tab. Tabs can be switched to B by using CMDOrCtrl+Alt and reordered by dragging and dropping.

Do you want to use tags without displaying them?

You can hide tabs and bind tabs using key bindings such as CMDOrCtrl+to cycle through tabs or file panels opened in the sidebar.

Open and modify markdown files

Open your first file

You can use the menu File ->Open File or press CMDOrCtrl+O to open the file dialog box to select the discounted file. Another method is to launch MarkText with a directory or file through the command line.

Save the file you edited

After some modifications, you can save the file S with different file names by using CMDOrCtrl+or by using Save As.

Open a directory

MarkText also supports opening a directory by using CMDOrCtrl++or the sidebar button Open Folder. After opening the directory, all files and directories are displayed in the sidebar tree view. The tree view allows you to open more files, browse and modify files or directories in the open root directory. Above the tree view is the location of all open files. You can also use Quick Open (+) to quickly open files from the opened root directory or editor, and navigate with arrow keys or select files with the mouse. To view another sidebar panel, such as searching in files, click on the left sidebar icon.
